Jack Albright has a hammer single in 4. Shows a Philadelphia maker, but I'm guessing it's a brummy gun.

I believe the Albright Peterman has changed addresses.

I hope he got his price, that was a very nice & unusual gun. It's been a big bore summer for me, first I got to see that Peterman, and then an 8-bore Greener hammer double walked in the door here. Somebody blued over the Damascus tubes at some point, but it is otherwise original and lovely for such a big gun.

I know this is an older post, but saw a couple of obscure large bores coming up for auction in case anyone is interested:

From the 1901 UMC catalogue --



UMC 1887 Catalogue --





I haven't found our North American ammunition manufacturers offering anything by NPEs and Wads for the 4-gauge. No loaded shells.

I like the blurb on the Lewis shotgun that says market hunting is outlawed in England. No it isn't! Except for geese that is; you can shoot as many as you want but they must be given away and not sold. Ducks can be shot without limit and sold. Not done though except on reared bird shoots as we who go for wild wildfowl would consider that unsporting. I still use my double 8. Lagopus.....

Lagopus: Do you load Bismith for the 8? I'm curious how those guns are kept in action.
